Despite this flic being a couple of years old now, it is fantastic and made exactly out of the material action films should be made out of. There is a lot of plotting going on and the film culminates in THE best shoot-out scene I have ever seen. The whole idea of the two ageing heros seems possible and Val Kilmer is a useful and handsome addition to make a trio. They steal an awful lot of money and you will be gripping your neighbour to see whether they will get away with it. It is interesting, accomplished and full of action, but of a high standard. A “Must See”!

Review of Heat
Advantages: Superb attention to detail; milestone in acting; stylish and authentic; intense, deep and complex Disadvantages: Mann's style not for everyone; arguably disappointing climax
